Penfolds, founded in 1844, is one of Australia’s most iconic fine wine producers, known for its multi-regional blending philosophy and flagship wines like Grange and Bin 389. The Superblend 802 series represents a rare, experimental luxury tier created by Chief Winemaker Peter Gago.
802.A and 802.B are “twin” interpretations of the same 2018 South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz parcels, designed to showcase two different winemaking philosophies—one shaped by American oak power and structure, the other by French oak finesse and integration.
